1. Assets classified as Property, Plant, and Equipment can be either acquired for use in
operations, or acquired for resale.
2. Assets classified as Property, Plant, and Equipment must be both long-term in nature and
possess physical substance.
3. When land with an old building is purchased as a future building site, the cost of removing
the old building is part of the cost of the new building.
4. Insurance on equipment purchased, while the equipment is in transit, is part of the cost of
the equipment.
5. Special assessments for local improvements such as street lights and sewers should be
accounted for as land improvements.
6. Variable overhead costs incurred to self-construct an asset should be included in the cost
of the asset.
7. Companies should assign no portion of fixed overhead to self-constructed assets.
8. When capitalizing interest during construction of an asset, an imputed interest cost on
stock financing must be included.
9. Assets under construction for a company’s own use do not qualify for interest cost
capitalization.
10. Avoidable interest is the amount of interest cost that a company could theoretically avoid if
it had not made expenditures for the asset.
11. When a company purchases land with the intention of developing it for a particular use,
interest costs associated with those expenditures qualify for interest capitalization.
12. Assets purchased on long-term credit contracts should be recorded at the present value of
the consideration exchanged.
13. Companies account for the exchange of nonmonetary assets on the basis of the fair value
of the asset given up or the fair value of the asset received.
14. If a nonmonetary exchange lacks commercial substance, and cash is received, a partial
gain or loss is recognized.
15. When a company exchanges nonmonetary assets and a loss results, the company
recognizes the loss only if the exchange has commercial substance.
16. Costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of an asset are capitalized if they provide
future benefits.
17. Improvements are often referred to as betterments and involve the substitution of a better
asset for the one currently used.

Ford Inc. plans to acquire an additional machine on January 1, 2010 to meet the growing demand
for its product. Stever Company offers to provide the machine to Ford using either of the options
listed below (each option gives Ford exactly the same machine and gives Stever Company
approximately the same net present value cash equivalent at 10%).
Option 1 — Cash purchase $800,000.
Option 2 — Installment purchase requiring 15 annual payments of $105,179 due
December 31 each year.
The expected economic life of this machine to Ford is 15 years. Salvage value at that time is
estimated to be $50,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. Interest expense under Option 2 is
computed using the effective interest method.
Instructions
Based upon current generally accepted accounting principles, state how, if at all, the book value
of the machine and the obligation should appear on the December 31, 2010 balance sheet of
Ford Inc., for each option. Present your answer on an answer sheet in the following format. If an

Moore Corporation follows a policy of a 10% depreciation charge per year on all machinery and a
5% depreciation charge per year on buildings. The following transactions occurred in 2011:
March 31, 2011— Negotiations which began in 2010 were completed and a warehouse
purchased 1/1/02 (depreciation has been properly charged through December
31, 2010) at a cost of $3,200,000 with a fair market value of $2,000,000 was
exchanged for a second warehouse which also had a fair market value of
$2,000,000. The exchange had no commercial substance. Both parcels of land
on which the warehouses were located were equal in value, and had a fair
value equal to book value.
June 30, 2011— Machinery with a cost of $240,000 and accumulated depreciation through
January 1 of $180,000 was exchanged with $150,000 cash for a parcel of land
with a fair market value of $230,000.

Short Answer:
1. What are the major characteristics of plant assets?
1. The major characteristics of plant assets are (1) that they are acquired for use in
operations and not for resale, (2) that they are long-term in nature and usually subject to
depreciation, and (3) that they have physical substance.
2. What interest rates should be used in determining the amount of interest to be capitalized?
How should the amount of interest to be capitalized be determined?
2. The avoidable interest is determined by multiplying (an) interest rate(s) by the weightedaverage amount of accumulated expenditures on qualifying assets. For the portion of
weighted-average accumulated expenditures which is less than or equal to any amounts
borrowed specifically to finance construction of the assets, the capitalization rate is the
specific interest rate incurred. For the portion of weighted-average accumulated
expenditures which is greater than specific debt incurred, the interest rate is a weighted
average of all other interest rates incurred.
The amount of interest to be capitalized is the avoidable interest, or the actual interest
incurred, whichever is lower.
